INTRODUCTION. 


It  is  hardly  necessary  to  say  that  this  is  a Catalogue  ot 
more  than  a single  collection. 

As  one,  whatever  credit  it  might  deserve  on  the  ground  of 
variety,  it  would  lose  on  that  of  incongruity ; but  this  is  an 
objection  without  much  force  against  a catalogue  of  miscel- 
laneous articles  offered  for  public  sale. 

That  there  are  several  owners  in  the  case,  may  explain  why 
the  catalogue  is  divided  into  so  many  parts  and  acldendas  ; also 
why  coins  of  the  same  class  are  not  sold  under  one  head. 

Part  I.  is  composed  wholly  and  exclusively  of  the  collec- 
tion of  Mr.  Joseph  E.  Gay,  of  New  York;  and  the  other 
gentlemen  interested  in  the  sale,  will,  I am  sure,  cordially 
concede  that  it  richly  deserves  the  distinction  of  being  placed 
at  the  head.  Among  the  Scotch  and  English  pieces  in  this 
collection,  are  some  that  will  hardly  be  looked  for  in  a cata- 
logue so  unexpected  as  this  will  be,  and  from  a cabinet  so 
quietly  formed  and  little  known. 

In  the  addendum  to  Part  I.,  and  in  Part  II.  of  the  Catalogue, 
many  fine  coins  and  medals,  both  American  and  foreign,  will 
be  found,  and  collectors  will  do  well  to  examine  this  depart- 
ment of  the  Catalogue  with  care. 

Part  III.  consists  almost  wholly  of  ancient  and  modern 
gems,  antiquities  from  Egypt,  Bric-a-Brac,  and  minerals. 
There  are  also  many  good  coins  in  this  division,  as  well  as  in 
the  addenda  to  Part  II.  This  will  be  the  last,  and  by  no 
means  the  least  interesting  and  important  day  of  the  sale. 
Among  the  gems  are  several  fine  stones ; the  minerals  came

Introduction. 


from  a good  collection,  and  are  fit  to  go  into  good  collections 
again ; the  antiquities  from  Egypt  are  authentic  and  valuable. 
I do  not  know  that  we  are  at  liberty  to  state  publicly  the  facts 
respecting  them,  but  the  writer  can  do  so  with  propriety  in  a 
private  way,  and  besides,  exhibit  other  objects  of  great  value 
and  quite  unique,  from  the  same  source.

JSTo.  25) ; extremely  fine  and  rare. 

Harold  was  cotemporary  with  William  of  Normandy,  “ The  Con- 
queror,” consequently  his  coins  close  the  Anglo-Saxon  series.

sceptre ; rev.  PAXS  in  the  angles  of  a cross ; as  it

tion of  Mr.  Turnbul,  of  Philadelphia.

A nglo-N orman. 

24  Henry  I.,  1100—1135  ; raisstruck  penny,  still  fine  ; rude 

head  in  profile,  inscription  ; rev.  ornate  cross  and  lilies ; 
very  rare. 

Probably  struck  in  Aquitaine. 

25  Another  Penny  of  Henry  I. ; head  crowned,  | face  ; 

rev.  cross,  in  each  angle  a short  cross  with  erosslets  ; 
only  fair  specimen,  but  it  cost  10s.  sterling ; (from  the 
collection  already  referred  to). 

26  Henry  II.,  11 54-1189  ; full  face,  head  fleurie  and  sceptre  ; 

rev.  short  double  cross,  crosses  in  angles ; brilliant. 

27  Duplicate,  equally  fine. 

28  Richard  I.,  1189-1199,  as  Duke  of  Aquitaine,  with  his 

title  as  King  of  England,  RICHARDYS  KEX  ; rev. 
PIC  TAVIE  HSIS  ; uncommonly  fine  and  very  rare 
penny. 

29  John,  1199-1216;  head  in  a triangle,  IOIIANNES 

EEX  ; rev.  crescent  and  stars  in  a triangle,  KOBERT 
OX  DIVAE  ; very  fine  and  rare  penny. 

James  Simon  and  Henry  Noel  Humphreys  both  give  us  an  account 
of  the  triangle  on  this  coin,  but  they  do  not  agree.  Simon  says 
he  finds  heads  similarly  inclosed  on  the  coins  of  Biorno,  King  of 
Sweden,  A.D.  818,  and  on  several  of  the  Kings  of  Prance  from 
893  to  1322  ; he  mentions  as  examples,  coins  of  Charles  the 
Simple,  Philip  the  Fair,  and  Charles  the  Fair  ; therefore,  he  con- 
cludes that  as  the  King’s  head  was  inclosed  in  a circle  on  English 
money,  for  distinction  he  would  be  represented  in  a triangle  on 
his  Irish  coins,  particularly  as  they  were  now  for  the  first  time 
of  the  same  weight  and  standard.  Simon  believes  that  the  harp, 
which  at  a later  period  became  the  chief  symbol  of  Ireland,  was 
suggested  by  and  proceeded  from  the  triangle,  as  it  was  unknown 
on  any  coin  of  that  or  a former  period,  now  extant. 

Mr.  Humphreys  says  without  hesitation,  “ The  triangle  found  on 
these  coins  is  supposed  to  be  a symbol  of  the  Trinity — the  an- 
cient arms  of  Trinity  Priory  in  Ipswich  being  represented  in  a 
similar  manner.”  The  triangle  was  continued  on  the  Irish  coins 
of  Henry  III.  and  Edward  I.,  II.,  and  III.,  when  it  disappears. 

30  Half-penny,  full  face  in  a circle,  JOI1ANXES  DO 

+ ; rev.  short  cross,  an  anulet  in  each  quarter ; struck 
in  England;  extra  fine  and  rare. 

See  note  in  the  Groux  Catalogue  following  No.  140.

William  Nicholson,  Arch-Deacon  of  Carlisle,  in  his  “ Scottish  His- 
torical Library,”  published  in  1702,  in  the  course  of  a short 
account  of  the  medals  and  coins  of  Scotland,  makes  the  follow- 
ing' observation:  “Some  call  the  tree  on  the  reverse,  an  lew 
Tree,  and  report  that  there  grew  a famous  one  ot  that  kind  in 
the  Park  (or  Garden)  of  the  Earl  of  Lenox,  which  gave  occasion 
to  the  impress.”

EIENRIC,  etc. ; a thistle  counterstamped  on  rev. ;

Nicholson  says,  “ This  motto  was  borrowed  from  Trajan,  whose  say- 
ing it  was  on  the  delivery  of  the  Praetors  sword;  George  Buchanan 
was  James’  tutor  and  probably  suggested  it.”

These  fine  and  rare  bronzes  -were  executed  by  one  of  the  great

art  of  the  medallests.  Vittor  Pisano,  Matteo  d’Paste,  and  others, 
founded  a school,  where  they  modelled  profile  heads  of  illustri- 
ous men  and  women,  adorning  the  reverses  with  designs  of 
admirable  workmanship  in  relief.  The  Carrara  medals  seldom

90  Objects  in  Baked  Earth , Glass,  Leather , etc. 

1581  Osiris  with  tululua,  flagellum  and  hook  in  complete  pre- 

servation ; length,  3 inches. 

A careful  examination  of  this  fine  little  antique  will  reveal  the 
mask  iu  front  of  the  tutulus — high  winged  cap. 

1582  Osiris,  represented  as  before;  on  this,  however,  the 

ornament  on  the  tutulus  is  a hawk’s  beak  and  the  leaf 
of  some  sacred  plant  (lotus  ?),  a more  elaborate  and  im- 
portant image ; every  part  perfect,  height  9 inches. 

1583  The  same  deity  with  the  hawk’s  head  surmounted 

by  a modius  and  bottle ; the  hands  which  are  raised 
have  held  something  now  lost ; it  is  suggested  a branch 
of  palm,  feather,  or  some  other  symbolic  object  com- 
mon to  this  representative  of  the  great  god  of  the 
world — the  sun  ; the  figure  and  all  its  parts  with  the 
exception  noticed  absolutely  perfect;  very  rare  and 
valuable,  height  6 inches. 

1584  Anuris,  dog-headed  god,  on  pedestal,  broken ; height 

4 inches. 

1585  Isis,  Consort  of  Osiris;  a most  beautiful  and  remarkable 

image  of  the  horned  Isis,  or  moon,  in  a sitting  posture, 
the  figure  about  9 inches  in  height,  on  a pedestal  re- 
taining its  peg  and  covered  with  hieroglyphics  on  four 
sides — not  to  be  surpassed. 


OBJECTS  IN  BAKED  EARTH,  GLASS,  LEATHER, 

ETC. 

{All  obtained  in  Egypt  in  1858.) 

15S6  Isis  (averrunca);  green  earthen  covered  with  hieroglyph- 
ics: the  goddess  holding  the  hieralpha  (sacred  A.), 
net  and  hook,  her  head  covered  with  the  veil ; a beau- 
tiful and  perfect  example,  the  characters  not  painted  on 
the  surface,  but  stamped  into  the  soft  paste  before  bak- 
ing ; height  10  inches. 

1587  Isis  (Mother  of  the  World)  seated  with  Horns  in  her  lap, 
on  her  head  a throne,  same  material  as  last ; a miniature 
figure  about  2 inches  high  ; perfect  and  beautiful,  very 


rare.
